Environmental
Environmental well-being involves creating and caring for indoor and outdoor spaces that feel safe, facilitating your sense of well-being.
Your environment — both the spaces you occupy and the planet you live on — plays a huge role in how you feel, physically and emotionally. Environmental well-being is about creating spaces that support your mental and physical health, whether that’s arranging your room in a way that feels calming or getting outside to connect with nature. It’s also about being mindful of how your actions impact the earth and making choices that contribute to sustainability. From reducing waste to supporting ethical businesses, environmental well-being encourages you to take care of the world around you, knowing small actions can create positive change. How you engage with your surroundings matters, and it is okay to start small — every effort counts.
